Practice notes
Berg Arkitekter is a studio of five. We design houses, cabins and small public buildings, mostly in timber and mostly on difficult sites.
We work slowly at the start and quickly at the end: months of drawing and models, then a build that surprises nobody.

“Jonas spent three days on our hillside before drawing a line. The house feels like it was always there.”
